From a former anti-apartheid activist’s search for his own racial identity by tracing his great-grandfather’s part in South Africa’s diamond industry to a parrot that scandalizes people with repetitions of their quarrels and clandestine love-talk, this new collection of stories eloquently probes how people are never free from their past nor spared from loss.“ As she always has, Gordimer offers her readers a rare combination of intimacy and transcendence.”—\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe New York Times Book Review\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “Rich . . . with invention, insight, and artistry.”—\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eSan Francisco Chronicle\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003eNadine Gordimer is the author of eleven previous novels, as well as collections of stories and essays.
